The top five banks and thrifts with the largest portfolios of home equity loans had more than $94 million in loans combined for the third quarter of last year — more than half of the roughly $178 million amassed by the top 20 institutions.
Discover Financial Services in Ridgewood, Illinois, posted the largest year-over-year change in total home equity loans, jumping from $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2023, to $6.1 million the following year. Other organizations with similar improvements include Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland in Ohio with a 28% rise and First Citizens BancShares in Raleigh, North Carolina, with just over 22%.
Not all saw improvements, however. San Francisco-based Wells Fargo dropped by more than 15% across the same period, from $16.2 million in 2023 to $13.8 million last year. The New York-based Citigroup and Cleveland, Ohio-based KeyGroup recorded drops of roughly 11% and 9%, respectively.
